Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Quoted in “Simple Abundance”, by Sarah Ban Breathnach
There is a “Simple Abundance” journal by Sarah Ban Breathnach that can be purchased at Barnes and Nobles. It is a great holiday gift. Each dated page has an inspiring quote with room to write about the day’s gratitude. Also, at the front of the journal there are gratitude “ideas.”
